Starting weight and beyond!

wow! ur looking great! my friends from work and i have decided to lose weight together we are going to be each others counselors i hope to be where your at right now...it will take some time but it will be all worth it in the end!
 
I haven't posted here in such a long time!

I've had a lot of things happen in the past few months, so my weight loss slowed a bit. I weighed 236 the last time I posted on this thread. I restarted my diet last month, weighing 225. Right now, I weigh 213! :) I'm so close to goal!

I started out at 288...something I will never go back to again.


For comparison... 273/222




And the front.




The next pics I take will be at 198. That will be a 90lbs loss. I am SO close!!!


I am a size 26 in the first pic. Now, I am an 18!!! Yay!!! I was in a 2X-3X shirt. I can wear a L-XL, now! I still have to go a little big, because of the breast area. lol I love having a figure, now!


I love being able to cross my legs easily, or sit in a chair and have room! I even turn heads sometimes! It's amazing! I can't wait until I'm at my goal, which is between 160-180. When I get to 180, I'm going to decide where to go from there!
 
Congratulations on your amazing progress! You are looking really good. I see such a tremendous change...


Plus, you seem super-postive and motivated. So I know you'll keep going and get to where you want to be.
 
Thank you, guys! I'm sorry I didn't respond sooner! I generally post from my phone, so navigating the site is a bit annoying at times. Thank you so much for the encouragement!
 
You definitely did a great job and the license pictures show it, congratulation for getting this far!!
by the way you look so much younger :)
 
Re: Frogged's Lily Pad

AThank you so much!
I'm at 211.8, now! I'm so close to 199!!! Once I hit 199, I really need to push. I never, ever want to see the 200's again!
 
AIts a nice feeling being under 200. It meant alot to me when I did it, too. You can do it! Your a very positive person, from what you said to me long ago on my journal you seem to see things as they really are. This will help you In maintence not gaining it back. Good luck! Youll do it as long as you keep moving forward.....life is like riding a bicycle, you have to keep moving.....

AI do try to stay positive. Sometimes it's hard, given my current living situation....but I know that being sad won't help my situation. Being happy is much more beneficial.

I've enjoyed reading your posts and seeing your pictures. You are looking great. Amazing accomplishment - keep up the good work and you'll be under 200 soon.
 
Thank you so much! The support on this forum is amazing. I love you guys so much!


It's been about 10 months since I started my journey, almost 11. I took my measurements about a month in, and then again today. There is such a huge difference!!


May 28, 2011/ March 28, 2011


Arm: 18/15in

Thigh: 31/26in

Waist: 55/47!!!

Stomach: 52/40!!!!!!

Bust(underneath breasts): 44/36


Insane!!! I wish my cup size would go down, so I can buy cheaper, pretty bras, but....yeah. Still a G cup. /sigh. I am so excited! I also went from a US size 26 pants to an 18!! I can wear medium men's shirts, when before I was almost in a 3X!


When I hit 199, I'll post pics! I kind of want to wait until 188, because that's the 100lbs mark, but getting below 200 will be a HUGE milestone.


Yay!!!
 
Thanks for sharing your great progress! It's so clever that you thought to take measurements close to the start. Now you can enjoy your transformation even more, as it's more than just numbers on the scale. Eight inches off your waist is fabulous!


I look forward to your 199 pics!
 
AThank you, Rox!! I am such a nerd about cataloguing things. I have a hand written account of my weight loss, too. I can look back on it and see where I've been stressed, why I was stressed, see that I've been discouraged, yet picked myself back up, and I have numbers to track my progress. I have dates and goals that I wanted to hit. Most of them, I've met. It really helps to be able to see those things, to boost my will.

I am so determined again! I hit 204.2 tonight!! What is even better, though, is that back in October, I bought a dress from pinupclothing.com. The size chart said it would fit, but it didn't. I was heartbroken. It wouldn't zip up past my back fat...yuck....and was super tight. It has been sitting in my closet, as a goal. I tried it on 3 weeks ago, and it still didn't fit. Today, however....OMG. I put it on, and started to zip. I thought, "Why am I doing this to myself? It's not gonna....whoa! What the...?! The zipper just went all the way up? What?!?!" It didn't stop, nor did I have to squeeze the fabric together. It fits!!! I need to get a strapless undergarment, to smooth out my lines and hold my girls in place. Otherwise, it really fits! When I get an undergarment, I'll take a pic. Here's the dress on a model, though.

I have the best shoes to go with it! A friend and I are going to go out in June for my birthday, and I plan on wearing it. I also plan to be in the 180's by then. ;)
